After a rather busy weekend I slept like a log. And
with "er indoors TM" returned, so did the dogs.
Over
brekkie I watched an episode of “Gotham” then had a look at the Internet
to see if I’d missed much overnight. I hadn’t missed much on Facebook but I had
missed the Perseid meteor shower last night. Back in the day I would have been
all over that. I was surprised that no one had mentioned it.
I
checked my emails. What with my new geo-series going live on Saturday morning
and people walking round my other caches, I had two hundred “found it”
logs. So over this last weekend for every film pot that I found under a rock,
over three people found one that I’d hidden. I see that as something of a
result. Mind you, sometimes I wonder how the noble art of shoving film pots
under a rock is going to continue. It wasn’t that long ago that I got at least
one notification about a new one five times a week. Now sometimes weeks pass
before anyone puts out a new one.
As I drove to work the pundits on the radio were
discussing President Trump’s seemingly incessant tweeting. There is a growing
feeling that Donald Trump has done untold damage to the office of President of
the United States. For years whatever the American President had to say was
respected. Now with his stream of drivel there are those who feel he’s made the
position something of a laughing-stock. Whoever takes over from him will have
the job of restoring respect for the position before they can realistically do
anything else.
The pundits also interviewed the numero uno honcho
at Phones 4 U. Because the chap has had Lyme’s disease he was seen to be
something of an expert on the matter. And (listening
to what he had to say) he probably seems to be something of an expert on
the matter to anyone who knows nothing about it. It struck me that with endless
experts that could have been wheeled on, why wheel on someone who clearly
didn’t know much at all?
I got to work. There was cake. There was also a lot
of torrential downpours too. And we had weather warnings too. Did you know that
there are distinct “yellow” and “amber” weather warnings? One means “be aware” and one means “be prepared”. What’s the difference?
With work done I came home. "er indoors TM" boiled up a
rather good bit of scran and went bowling. I watched the final episode of “Gotham”.
Something of an “end of an era” now that I’ve seen them all. I rater
liked that show, but it did have the problem that (being a prequel) you
knew all the characters were going to survive. That was where “Game of Thrones”
worked so well; anyone could drop dead there.
I then fell asleep in front of the telly. I do that
far too much…
Going back to work was a tad dull…
